The Dais is the result of years of effort by the Nottingham team. While not the most expensive table they make, it is the one of which they are currently most proud. The Dais incorporates the best features of the old Anna Log (still a much sought after classic) and the newest thinking on materials and design.

In addition to a more robust version of the oil pumping bearing design, the Dais incorporates a gravity spun iron platter. This platter is actually spun while casting to eliminate even the tiniest air pockets thereby insuring consistency throughout the platter.

The Dais also includes the Wave Mechanic power supply that provides an ultra-stable AC wave form to drive the motor. Just looking at the Dais, its most striking design feature is its simplicity. It almost vanishes except for the platter. It almost vanishes except for the music. Music, without machine.

The philosophy of Nottingham Analogue

Rather than making more and more complex systems with exotic power supplies, hard to set-up and maintain suspension systems, the Nottingham Analogue Turntables really applies the "simple is good" principles.

The motor is so small that the drive is always left "on". To start the turntable, simply give the platter a "push". The motor is then only required to overcome the minimal frictional losses of the high quality bearing assembly. Speed is controlled absolutely by the inertia of the high mass platter but without the typical problems.

Nottingham Analogue Turntables also have no complex spring systems that quickly tire and need adjustment and endless "tuning". Your turntable need only a simple wooden table or a solid shelf to work at it’s tonal best.

A unique feature of the Nottingham Analogue Turntables is the relative ease with which 2 arms can be fitted. In some markets this is almost a pre-requisite. Thus, virtually any combination of arms can be mounted on the "Space" range.
